Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
0:31
Speaker 1: We'll start out in Motown. We'll start out in the
0:35
Speaker 1: state of Michigan where Caid Cuttingham who had a hiccup,
0:39
Speaker 1: he had a glitch in his game earlier in the series,
0:41
Speaker 1: kept turning the ball over. Well, that'll all be forgotten,
0:44
Speaker 1: cutting him with thirty two points, filling up the box
0:47
Speaker 1: score thirty two points, twelve assists and a partridge into Paratree.
0:51
Speaker 1: Tobias Harris Journeyman Tobias Harris had thirty points. The Pistons
0:57
Speaker 1: make the magic disappear. No, no Na, good bye, I
1:03
Speaker 1: see it later. Orlando out of the playoffs one sixteen
1:07
Speaker 1: to ninety four in Game seven on Sunday. So that
1:11
Speaker 1: means that the Pistons have won a playoff series. If
1:13
Speaker 1: you're eighteen years old. This is like the first time
1:16
Speaker 1: pretty much in your lifetime they've won a playoff series.
1:18
Speaker 1: It had been eighteen years the last time. How's that
1:21
Speaker 1: possible that they had won a playoff series? But there
1:24
Speaker 1: we are in cutting him thirty two points. He averaged
1:28
Speaker 1: thirty two point four points per game for Detroit in
1:31
Speaker 1: this series. And they last won a postseason series against
1:35
Speaker 1: the aforementioned Orlando Magic way back in eight barely a
1:42
Speaker 1: memory of that. Barely a memory of that. And so
1:45
Speaker 1: the Pistons now advanced, they will play the Cadavers in
1:48
Speaker 1: game number one of that series. That'll be coming up
1:51
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. That would be tomorrow. I know it still
1:55
Speaker 1: late Sunday night in the West, but there'll be a
1:57
Speaker 1: quiz on this, so it's late Sunday in the West,
1:59
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be early early on on on Tuesday,
2:03
Speaker 1: which is tomorrow. So it's almost Monday, so that means tomorrow.
2:06
Speaker 1: So there you go. The Pistons will take on the
2:09
Speaker 1: team from Ohio. The better story, though, is in the
2:13
Speaker 1: losing locker room on this once, so we're going to
2:14
Speaker 1: focus on that. Where Paulo Boncherro was asked he had
2:19
Speaker 1: a big stat line. Was asked about the status of
2:22
Speaker 1: the Magic franchise. They don't seem to do anything in
2:26
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I've been in the playoffs a few times
2:28
Speaker 1: here recently, and they haven't really made any noise, made
2:31
Speaker 1: their mark any of that. And he was seated there
2:34
Speaker 1: at the postgame news conference on stage at the Dais
2:38
Speaker 1: and Bonchero. He paused a little bit before answering the question,
2:43
Speaker 1: and he was asked the question, he said, I want
2:47
Speaker 1: to say yes. When asked the question, he said, but
2:51
Speaker 1: this is the third straight time we haven't gotten out
2:54
Speaker 1: of the first round. Bon Chero said, So if you're
2:57
Speaker 1: going off the last three years, the answer is no
3:00
Speaker 1: talking about whether or not the Magic can get it
3:03
Speaker 1: done this group of players. So if this is going
3:05
Speaker 1: off for the last three years, obviously not. I can't
3:07
Speaker 1: say we're good enough to be in the finals of
3:10
Speaker 1: the Eastern Finals, he said, because of the last three
3:13
Speaker 1: years we've had the same results. So that's your answer. Okay,
3:17
Speaker 1: thank you, good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question.
3:22
Speaker 1: Now here's the question. Can you explain what's wrong? Because
3:25
Speaker 1: we have all the answers doing overnight talk radio. What
3:28
Speaker 1: is wrong? With Paul all Voncero's Orlando Magic in the playoffs. Playoffs.
3:35
Speaker 1: So on this one, we'll bounce around a little bit.
3:39
Speaker 1: We've got co workers Warning Label and George Nori, and
3:45
Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
3:50
Speaker 1: are going to put the biscuit in the basket, is
3:52
Speaker 1: what we're going to do. So a the Orlando Magic.
3:56
Speaker 1: After a minutes long review of the available information, I
3:59
Speaker 1: have determined, and I'm never wrong about these things, the
4:01
Speaker 1: Orlando Magic are not cursed. They are not cursed. Okay,
4:04
Speaker 1: they're not. They're stuck in the worst possible place, the
4:08
Speaker 1: worst possible place in sports. That mushy middle, that mushy,
4:13
Speaker 1: mushy middle. That's where they are. That's where they're Lando
4:16
Speaker 1: Mets are. They're not bad enough to bottom out. They're
4:18
Speaker 1: not trying to bottom out. They did that a few
4:20
Speaker 1: years ago. And they've got a bunch of players that
4:24
Speaker 1: are high draftics. They traded five draft picks to get
4:26
Speaker 1: Desmond Maine. Did anyone see him do anything good? I
4:29
Speaker 1: didn't see anything in this game against the Pistons. But
4:32
Speaker 1: in terms of the question getting back to it, they're
4:35
Speaker 1: in the middle. The Orlando Magic are in that mushy
4:37
Speaker 1: middle there, and it's essentially the way I interpreted what
4:42
Speaker 1: Bonchero said. He basically gave you the corporate to prove truth,
4:48
Speaker 1: which is that the team is good, they're just not
4:51
Speaker 1: that good. And that's the Magic in a nutshell. They're good,
4:54
Speaker 1: they're just not that good. And it's the the Disney honesty,
4:59
Speaker 1: I said, the honesty there from a team that plays
5:02
Speaker 1: its home games down the road from the Magic Castle
5:04
Speaker 1: there in Florida, and all that their playoff identity. Here's
5:07
Speaker 1: the Orlando Magic playoff identity. They had this series, they
5:10
Speaker 1: had a choke hold on it, and they gave it
5:12
Speaker 1: all the worst Game seven. You said, well that was
5:15
Speaker 1: bad Game six though they were kicking the tail of
5:18
Speaker 1: the Pistons and it all went to hell. All of
5:22
Speaker 1: it went to hell. And their playoff entity identity, they
5:25
Speaker 1: show up, the Orlando Magic. They show up, they try hard,
5:28
Speaker 1: they lose very politely. They're very polite when they lose,
5:31
Speaker 1: they're very polite. It's very important to be polite. There's
5:34
Speaker 1: no closer. They don't appear to have that guy. You're
5:37
Speaker 1: not that guy, pal, they don't have that assassin out there.
5:40
Speaker 1: And it's a committee it's a group project. Maybe we'll
5:44
Speaker 1: do it next year. Maybe we'll get it done next year.
5:46
Speaker 1: That'll be what we do. We're going to get it
5:47
Speaker 1: done next year. And so they're not out there as killers.
5:51
Speaker 1: The star players, the forever players that the Magic got,
5:55
Speaker 1: Desmond Main and Aven bon Chero, and it's like they're
5:58
Speaker 1: just kind of clocking in and out. La la la
6:01
Speaker 1: la la la la la la la la la la
6:03
Speaker 1: la la la la. And when that happens, all right,
6:06
Speaker 1: when that happens, you and I both know what happens next.
6:11
Speaker 1: Say bye bye to the head coach. You know that's
6:14
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Jamal Moseley. There were rumors that the players
6:17
Speaker 1: were at loggerheads with Mosley prior to the series, and
6:20
Speaker 1: it was guaranteed he was gonna be out. Well, now
6:22
Speaker 1: this cements it, and that's it. That's all she wrote there.
6:27
Speaker 1: And you know he's hearing footsteps, Jamal Mosley, the whispers,
6:31
Speaker 1: the friction behind the scenes and all that for Orlando.
6:35
Speaker 1: So the the NBA, they try to sell hope. They're
6:38
Speaker 1: big on hope. It's all about hope. We're selling hope, hope, hope, hope, hope.
6:42
Speaker 1: Orlando sells layaway. It's it's like, well, we'll get to
6:46
Speaker 1: it eventually. Just pay a little beach here, We'll get
6:48
Speaker 1: to it eventually.
6:49
Speaker 2: Yeah.
6:49
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, to Cleveland we go where the late game on
6:54
Speaker 1: the basketball card on Sunday, Jared Allen getting it done.
6:59
Speaker 1: He Toddy playoff career. I had twenty two points and
7:03
Speaker 1: nineteen rebounds, and the Cleveland basketball team advancing to the
7:07
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference semi finals as they win by twelve. The game,
7:12
Speaker 1: Toronto led early and then they had to play the
7:14
Speaker 1: rest of the game, and very early on the Raptors
7:18
Speaker 1: looked like they were in good shape, and then by
7:21
Speaker 1: halftime it was all tied up, and then after that
7:24
Speaker 1: forget about it. So that sets things up. Donovan Mitchell
7:29
Speaker 1: was the big man on campus. He had twenty two points,
7:31
Speaker 1: tied with Jared Allen for the lead. There James Harden playoff.
7:36
Speaker 1: Harden did not play that great. He had eighteen points.
7:39
Speaker 1: And so that's it's. Scottie Barnes face of the NBA,
7:43
Speaker 1: Scottie Barnes All Stars. Scottie Barnes. He played well. He
7:47
Speaker 1: had twenty four points for Toronto, nine rebounds. RJ Barrett
7:52
Speaker 1: twenty three as well for the Raptors, who were in
7:55
Speaker 1: the playoffs for the first time way back in twenty
7:57
Speaker 1: twenty two. I barely remember that also two. So the question,
8:02
Speaker 1: let's focus in on the Cleveland side of things here
8:05
Speaker 1: on this one, as they were one of the better
8:07
Speaker 1: seeds in the East. He had a lot of excitement
8:09
Speaker 1: when they got James Harden. I don't know why they did.
8:12
Speaker 1: And so the question is the glass half full or
8:17
Speaker 1: is the glass half empty? For the Spider Mitchell calves
8:24
Speaker 1: all right, so you'd say, well, they won, so it's
8:27
Speaker 1: half full. But I'd say no, You'd say, well it's
8:29
Speaker 1: half empty because they didn't play that well. I'd say
8:31
Speaker 1: the answer is neither. I'm gonna go with none of
8:34
Speaker 1: the above. The glass, I'll put it this way. The
8:36
Speaker 1: glass is not half full. It's not half empty. It
8:39
Speaker 1: is cracked. The glass is it cracked, it's leaking, and
8:44
Speaker 1: somehow James Harden keeps dropping it while Donovan Mitchell goes
8:49
Speaker 1: over there and he's got some duct tape and he's
8:51
Speaker 1: trying to put the thing back together and all that.
8:53
Speaker 1: At this point, Cleveland's claim to fame here the pro
8:57
Speaker 1: bouncy ball team in Cleveland is surveability is what it is.
9:02
Speaker 1: They don't win clean. Then, were any of these games
9:06
Speaker 1: just a surgical take that I don't remember? Maybe the
9:10
Speaker 1: first game. I don't feel like that was the case, though.
9:13
Speaker 1: So they're able to survive and escape and all that,
9:16
Speaker 1: And this Toronto series not a victory lap. This was
9:20
Speaker 1: not some kind of statement that was made said here
9:23
Speaker 1: we are, We're on our way. This is not a
9:25
Speaker 1: statement situation at all. It was kind of like, Okay,
9:29
Speaker 1: you won the series. Congratulations. It's like crawling out of
9:32
Speaker 1: a bad escape room and you have no clues left
9:38
Speaker 1: except one that you couldn't solve. Well, I couldn't you
9:40
Speaker 1: solve it? I couldn't solve it. Well, will you get
9:42
Speaker 1: back in there? What are you doing? And so that's
9:45
Speaker 1: where a lot of turnovers. Ugly basketball, shaky basketball, The
9:50
Speaker 1: shooting was not good. Defensive laps is all over the place, here,
9:53
Speaker 1: there and everywhere. It's like the greatest Hits album for
9:57
Speaker 1: the cadavers on bad habits in this series. Yet they win.
10:02
Speaker 1: They did everything they could to lose until the end,
10:04
Speaker 1: and then they pulled that out Cleveland and they win
10:06
Speaker 1: the game. So it does appear they are allergic to comfort.
10:09
Speaker 1: They do not appreciate comfort here. And you build a
10:12
Speaker 1: lead up and immediately Pop goes the lead, just like that,
10:18
Speaker 1: Just like that, Pop goes the lead like a cheap
10:21
Speaker 1: bubble wrap. That's how that went. So if the Cavaliers,
10:25
Speaker 1: if they were on Wall Street and you say, okay,
10:29
Speaker 1: what kind of stock are they, Well, they're not a
10:30
Speaker 1: penny stock. They're not a gold standard stock like a
10:35
Speaker 1: stock's been around forever, you know, is gonna make your money.
10:37
Speaker 1: They're not that. They'd be the stock that comes with
10:40
Speaker 1: the big black and yellow, black and yellow, black and
10:43
Speaker 1: yellow warning label volatile, high risk. It's a high risk stock,
10:49
Speaker 1: emotional damage guaranteed. So I keep hearing Championship Window. The
10:53
Speaker 1: Calves are going for it with James Harden. I did
10:55
Speaker 1: not see any anything in this matchup that leads me
10:59
Speaker 1: to blee that team is on their way to a
11:01
Speaker 1: magic carpet ride the Cavaliers to go to the NBA Finals.
11:04
Speaker 1: I see nothing, in fact, just the opposite. I see
11:07
Speaker 1: this is a team that gonna be lucky if they
11:08
Speaker 1: get past the Pistons in round two. And people are
11:12
Speaker 1: about Championship Window, this, that and the other thing. But
11:14
Speaker 1: there's no frame it's just a draft and a prayer
11:18
Speaker 1: at this point. That's where we are, all right. Meanwhile,
11:22
Speaker 1: we now go to Boston where the if you are
11:24
Speaker 1: the Celtics winning the NBA Championship, you're a loser, as
11:30
Speaker 1: they were decommissioned from the playoffs over the weekend. And
11:33
Speaker 1: then we got some really wild conversation from Jalen Brown,
11:39
Speaker 1: the star of the Celtish now Jalen Brown claiming on
11:43
Speaker 1: Twitch where I get all my breaking sports news on Twitch.
11:47
Speaker 1: I wonder if he was playing games with Blake Snell,
11:50
Speaker 1: the guy that is a gamer that sometimes pitches for
11:52
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, but not really just more of a gamer.
11:55
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. Jalen Brown, though claimed on
11:57
Speaker 1: Twitch at the NBA referees had a targeted agenda against him.
12:05
Speaker 1: Do do do Do Do Do do do? Yep uh
12:09
Speaker 1: in the playoffs playoffs, that's right, saying they called offensive files.
12:14
Speaker 1: Cording to Jalen Brown, they called offensive files every time
12:16
Speaker 1: he put his hands up, possibly due to the regular
12:20
Speaker 1: season outsmoking criticism of the Zebras and that rant following
12:26
Speaker 1: the Celtics, who blew a three games to one lead
12:30
Speaker 1: in their playoff series as they have been exterminated by
12:33
Speaker 1: the Sixers, who had that at Philadelphia look beating and broken.
12:36
Speaker 1: They were people calling each other's names in the locker room.
12:39
Speaker 1: And now the Sixers came back, they win that series.
12:42
Speaker 1: In Brown had also been critical of Joel enbad floppy
12:48
Speaker 1: mcflop uh and and all that. Al Right, I guess
12:51
Speaker 1: we have the other. All right, let's go to the
12:52
Speaker 1: audio here. Let's go to the audio tape. Take a list.
12:54
Speaker 3: This is my personal opinion on basketball. Some of y'am
12:56
Speaker 3: might disagree, but argue with your grandma. Flopping has ruined
13:00
Speaker 3: our game. Joel Ebid is a great player, one of
13:03
Speaker 3: the best bigs in basketball history.
13:06
Speaker 1: Flops.
13:07
Speaker 3: He know it. This ain't breaking news. It is what
13:10
Speaker 3: it is. I can clip it up, like I said,
13:12
Speaker 3: y'all can post it on these paid accounts that he's
13:15
Speaker 3: bought whatever.
13:17
Speaker 1: Okay, there you go, wonderful Jalen Brown right there. It's
13:20
Speaker 1: all of course, this has been This is not new.
13:23
Speaker 1: This has been going on for thirty years, at least
13:27
Speaker 1: twenty five years. At least twenty five years. All right,
13:30
Speaker 1: So question, how does Jalen Brown come across with his
13:34
Speaker 1: grumbling over the NBA referees and the whole thing. This
13:38
Speaker 1: guy's flopping. I'm not getting any calls here. They're out
13:41
Speaker 1: to get me. The man's holding me down. That's essentially
13:44
Speaker 1: his argument. The man's holding me down. That's Jalen Brown,
13:47
Speaker 1: all right. So Jalen Brown out here talking like the referees.
13:52
Speaker 1: We're tapping his phone. There was a wire tap on
13:56
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown's phone. And it seems a little deeper than
14:01
Speaker 1: just frustration, like there's it's more than just frustration there.
14:05
Speaker 1: This is a full blown the league is watching me.
14:08
Speaker 1: Paranoia is what that comes across to me. And it
14:12
Speaker 1: appears that Jalen Brown this offseason should spend some time
14:16
Speaker 1: picking up a little side hustle. And I recommend the
14:19
Speaker 1: number two chare. I know George Nori works alone over
14:22
Speaker 1: on Coast to Coast, but why not put Jalen Brown
14:25
Speaker 1: in there as a coast so at least you can
14:28
Speaker 1: host the weekend version of Coast to Coast and can
14:31
Speaker 1: talk about the Kim Trails and the little Gremlins and
14:35
Speaker 1: all that. Not to get him who says no. I
14:40
Speaker 1: don't know anyone would say no. Jaylen Brown acting like
14:42
Speaker 1: every whistle was not just a foul, but a coordinate
14:46
Speaker 1: surveillance operation against him, because of course the NBA doesn't
14:50
Speaker 1: want the Celtics that have a national fan base to
14:53
Speaker 1: advance in the playoffs and all that stuff, of course,
14:57
Speaker 1: and he can lose a series. Jalen Brown lose a
15:00
Speaker 1: series here, he lost a battle with the imaginary Boogeyman,
15:06
Speaker 1: is what happened. So he's essentially accusing the referees of
15:08
Speaker 1: some kind of psychological warfare, describing a conspiracy thriller back
15:14
Speaker 1: in the old days when they made good movies in Hollywood.
15:17
Speaker 1: And it's that not just a random playoff series where
15:20
Speaker 1: you gagged away, you played with your food and you lost.
15:23
Speaker 1: It's a bad job by you. So Jalen out there
15:26
Speaker 1: talking like the officials had a dossier on him, convinced
15:32
Speaker 1: that every whistle was actually not just a whistle, it
15:35
Speaker 1: was a dog whistle coded message from the illumina, the
15:40
Speaker 1: deep state of the NBA. Now, do I think sometimes
15:42
Speaker 1: this stuff happens? Absolutely, of course I do. Do I
15:44
Speaker 1: think the NBA was out to get Jalen Brown? No,
15:47
Speaker 1: And does that explain why every other guy in the
15:49
Speaker 1: Celtics in that last game it was a brick house yeah,
15:55
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think so. So. Anyway,
15:57
Speaker 1: did he think the referees were hiding in the bushes
15:59
Speaker 1: before tip off outside the arena? Is that what was
16:02
Speaker 1: going on here? So we'll see. Get him on some
16:05
Speaker 1: of those meds that blind Scott's got, he'll be all right.
16:07
Speaker 1: Of course he doesn't doesn't really take those either.

17:43
Speaker 1: did it with a flare and just had his own
17:48
Speaker 1: spin to it, the home run calls, as he was
17:50
Speaker 1: known for a big part of Yankee baseball in their
17:54
Speaker 1: last glory days when they were winning the World Series
17:57
Speaker 1: every couple of years there, when they had Jorge Pasada
18:01
Speaker 1: and Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter and those guys, and
18:04
Speaker 1: we're winning all the time. Yiy cays waiting BAI gays
18:08
Speaker 1: when all of that. So that's what he said after
18:11
Speaker 1: wins would say it after losses, and he has died,
18:16
Speaker 1: crossing over the parlygates there on Monday eighty seven. Tributes
18:21
Speaker 1: coming in here, there and everywhere from around baseball. Yankee legends,
18:26
Speaker 1: young and old, young and old, all had something they
18:30
Speaker 1: wanted to say about John Sterling. Seems everyone has a
18:34
Speaker 1: story about John Sterling, the golden voice of the Yankees
18:39
Speaker 1: for all of those years on the radio. So that
18:42
Speaker 1: is a good jumping off point. I would like to
18:44
Speaker 1: join in. I have some thoughts on this, as some
18:47
Speaker 1: of you know that we've had John on the podcast,
18:51
Speaker 1: and I had had John when I used to do
18:53
Speaker 1: a weekend show here. We had John Sterling on a
18:55
Speaker 1: few times, very very kind to me over the years.
19:00
Speaker 1: I didn't interact with him all that often. I did
19:03
Speaker 1: put me a handful of times in person, and was
19:06
Speaker 1: always really cool. Was always really cool. So let's get
19:09
Speaker 1: into it the question how are you going to remember?
19:12
Speaker 1: How are you going to remember Yankee broadcaster John Sterling.
19:18
Speaker 1: So there's always the micro and the macro on this.
19:20
Speaker 1: I've got bedazzled kool aid Man and Rare Spice, and
19:26
Speaker 1: we'll combine all of these things together and we are
19:30
Speaker 1: going to make a Broadway show, because that's one of
19:33
Speaker 1: the things that pops in my head when I think
19:35
Speaker 1: about John Sterling calling Yankee baseball now number what number one?
19:42
Speaker 1: Number one? Number one? Okay. I think of John Sterling
19:47
Speaker 1: as what I would call a broadcasters broadcaster, if you
19:50
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Uh, And don't don't kid yourself,
19:54
Speaker 1: and we don't need to go too deep on this.
19:56
Speaker 1: He wasn't playing it straight down the middle. That wasn't
20:01
Speaker 1: the way he did it. Many ways to make a bed,
20:05
Speaker 1: there's more than one, and there's more than one way
20:07
Speaker 1: to do a broadcast. Now. I grew up with Vin
20:10
Speaker 1: Scully who attempted to play it right down the middle
20:13
Speaker 1: and all that. John Sterling never attempted to play it
20:16
Speaker 1: right down the middle. You always knew where John Sterling
20:18
Speaker 1: was in relationship to where the game was, the score
20:22
Speaker 1: of the game, how the season was going for the Yankees.
20:25
Speaker 1: And Sterling took that approach, the play it down the
20:30
Speaker 1: middle approach, and he took it like a piece of paper,
20:33
Speaker 1: and he kind of he crumbled up the piece of
20:37
Speaker 1: paper and he tossed it into the Hudson, possibly the
20:41
Speaker 1: East River, but I think it was the Hudson, and
20:43
Speaker 1: he went full opposite. He went the other direction there,
20:47
Speaker 1: and it worked for him. He was a debonair guy,
20:50
Speaker 1: well dressed, obviously charismatic as the Yankee play by play guy.
20:55
Speaker 1: And in my conversations with John Sterling the few times
20:59
Speaker 1: that we had him on the radio and whatnot, he
21:01
Speaker 1: was fully aware that his audience was not the NPR
21:05
Speaker 1: audience they wanted to show. Okay, they wanted to show.
21:10
Speaker 1: You can think, who's listening to Yankee baseball in the
21:12
Speaker 1: radio as people driving around, It's people at work that
21:17
Speaker 1: are working the night shift, because most Yankee games are
21:20
Speaker 1: at night. People that don't have access to television blind,
21:25
Speaker 1: I mean, those are the people that are listening to
21:26
Speaker 1: Yankee baseball. So yeah, guys listening to you, they're likely
21:29
Speaker 1: going home from work, driving to work, they're working the
21:32
Speaker 1: late shift and all that. These are Yankee hardos, and
21:35
Speaker 1: Sterling embraced that he did, and he did that broadcast
21:40
Speaker 1: for the die hard, the faithful Brox Bomber fans, and
21:45
Speaker 1: he fed them a study diet of theater. His play
21:50
Speaker 1: by play technique was theatrical is the word I will
21:54
Speaker 1: use here. He was not a broadcaster per se He
21:57
Speaker 1: was a one man Broadway productive Yankees winn Yankees, and
22:06
Speaker 1: he had a press box seat. And most announcers just
22:09
Speaker 1: described the moment, They just describe what's going on. Sterling
22:14
Speaker 1: decorated it. He did. He bedazzled the broadcast. And I
22:20
Speaker 1: have just having some conversations via text with some friends
22:22
Speaker 1: of mine who do that kind of work for a living,
22:24
Speaker 1: and the thing that was noted to me, and I
22:26
Speaker 1: think it's a fair point. Most of Sterling's career as
22:29
Speaker 1: a broadcaster was before social media. Yet he provided In
22:34
Speaker 1: the old days, we used to play a lot of
22:35
Speaker 1: those those cuts, the play by play cuts on the radio.
22:40
Speaker 1: He had updates, live updates, the old days stations had
22:43
Speaker 1: live updates, and so we'd play those things at night.
22:45
Speaker 1: And the late great Frank Pollock, may he rest in peace.
22:49
Speaker 1: Frank's probably busting John Stirling's balls right now. It's some
22:52
Speaker 1: kind of a buffet on the other side right there,
22:54
Speaker 1: yapping to each other. But Frank Polk was my board
22:56
Speaker 1: op for years, and Frank was a legend. He was
22:58
Speaker 1: a chick hern famous Lake broadcaster, his boardop and we
23:03
Speaker 1: had so much fun when Frank was my board up
23:05
Speaker 1: because we would just do the Yankee rundown. And it
23:08
Speaker 1: wasn't because we were just trying to kill time. We
23:10
Speaker 1: just loved all the stupid drops that John Sterling provided us.
23:14
Speaker 1: But he bedazzled the broadcast. He put jazz hands off
23:18
Speaker 1: the whole thing. He didn't just call the game. He
23:20
Speaker 1: accessorized the broadcast. And in the Big Apple, you know,
23:26
Speaker 1: you got a guy like Sterling said, well, this is
23:28
Speaker 1: what are you doing. It's just the Yankees, this is
23:30
Speaker 1: the Wall Street crowd, like the Mets of the Long
23:32
Speaker 1: Island construction workers and the Yankees of the Wall Street
23:35
Speaker 1: people and all that. And he laid that that shtick,
23:40
Speaker 1: as my grandfather would say, that shtikla. He laid that
23:43
Speaker 1: on thicker than a piece of cheesecake, just really thick
23:47
Speaker 1: the New York cheese cake every night. And to his credit,
23:50
Speaker 1: and this is the way you're supposed to do it.
23:52
Speaker 1: And the people that know what they're doing every night,
23:54
Speaker 1: you treat it like it's the most important broadcast and
23:57
Speaker 1: not just Game seventy seven, one hundred and sixty two.
24:01
Speaker 1: And you're playing in Seattle and it's ten thirty at
24:05
Speaker 1: night in New York and no one's listening. You treat
24:07
Speaker 1: it differently, you treat it as it matters. And he
24:10
Speaker 1: was larger than life, he louder than life, and unapologetically
24:15
Speaker 1: just gave you more. John Sterling the last true ringmaster
24:21
Speaker 1: of the theatrical baseball radio broadcast. And people die and say, well,
24:26
Speaker 1: they'll never be another one like them. And that's generally
24:29
Speaker 1: true for all of us. We're all individuals, right, We're
24:31
Speaker 1: all individuals in terms of the skill set. Though there
24:34
Speaker 1: can never be another John Sterling. He would not be
24:37
Speaker 1: allowed to work the corporate bullcrap. John Sterling is a
24:41
Speaker 1: product of his era. Obvious, we're all products of our era.
24:44
Speaker 1: And he came in when sports was a mom and
24:46
Speaker 1: pop operation, which meant people that owned teams were regular people.
24:50
Speaker 1: They weren't conglaborants, they weren't hedge funds, and they appreciated
24:55
Speaker 1: that type of work. Now, oh my god, you're embursing
24:59
Speaker 1: the brown what are you doing? And even no, George Steinbrenner,
25:04
Speaker 1: the guy that was there that hired John Sterling, has
25:08
Speaker 1: been dead for many years. It's still a family business.
25:11
Speaker 1: The kids kept John Sterling employed up until just a
25:13
Speaker 1: few years ago when he could no longer do it. Now,
25:17
Speaker 1: flipping the page, but not far as it is the
25:20
Speaker 1: hour of tribute to the Great John Sterling, the late
25:23
Speaker 1: great John Sterling, who passed away this week at the
25:26
Speaker 1: age of eighty seven. So what was the secret sauce
25:29
Speaker 1: that made John Sterling such a unique character in Yankee broadcasting.
25:35
Speaker 1: He's just baseball broadcasting in general, So this is simple.
25:40
Speaker 1: He didn't just call a game, he performed it. Now,
25:43
Speaker 1: I worked with a guy and I forget his name.
25:45
Speaker 1: I did a TV show with him for a couple
25:46
Speaker 1: of years and he said to me, this is not
25:49
Speaker 1: John Sterling. But he said to me, the key is
25:51
Speaker 1: to make it all about you. I think his name
25:53
Speaker 1: was Looney or something like that. Well, anyway, it turns
25:55
Speaker 1: out that John Sterling made it all about him and
25:59
Speaker 1: it worked. It worked right, And most broadcasters kind of
26:04
Speaker 1: melted into the background and you're whispering the game, and
26:06
Speaker 1: you're giving the out of town scoreboard and you're reading
26:09
Speaker 1: all that like it's a library. John stolen, though, he
26:12
Speaker 1: broadcast the game as if he was crashing through a
26:16
Speaker 1: wall like that picture shaped kool aid Man, shouting oh yeah,
26:21
Speaker 1: loud and proud, and you weren't tuning in for the
26:25
Speaker 1: Yankees per se, you were tuning in for the Sterling
26:29
Speaker 1: cinematic universe, where every at bat, every at bat was
26:34
Speaker 1: what it was, a brand launch, and every player had
26:38
Speaker 1: a Marvel style origin story, every one of them. Right,
26:43
Speaker 1: home run, please, come on? That wasn't just a home run?
26:45
Speaker 1: What do you naive?
26:47
Speaker 2: No?
26:47
Speaker 1: That was a fireworks show with catchphrases attached. Hey mom
26:52
Speaker 1: from a rod Burn, baby burn, all of them all rise,
26:57
Speaker 1: Here comes the Judge, the Gum, the thriller from Godzilla
27:05
Speaker 1: for Hideki Matsu. Now, my two favorites are not mentioned
27:10
Speaker 1: very often because they're not great ballplayers. My two favorite
27:13
Speaker 1: calls that John Sterling had that I repeated for many years.
27:16
Speaker 1: Of fact, I often still repeat them is one for
27:19
Speaker 1: Curtis Granderson, the Grandee Man Can the grand de Man
27:24
Speaker 1: Can loved it. And Robbie Cano, and all that was
27:29
Speaker 1: when Cano would hit a home run, he'd say, Robbie Cano,
27:33
Speaker 1: don't you know? And that was it. And when the
27:37
Speaker 1: game dragged, Sterling said, we need more juice. I'll give
27:40
Speaker 1: you some more juice. I remember it was visiting my
27:43
Speaker 1: brother who lives in New York, and I was we
27:44
Speaker 1: were in a with my car, but we were driving
27:47
Speaker 1: around and the guy who in the car it was
27:49
Speaker 1: like a taxi a long time ago, and they had
27:51
Speaker 1: the Yankee game on and it was just the start
27:54
Speaker 1: of the Yankee broadcast and John Sterling did about ten
27:57
Speaker 1: minutes of commercials. At the start he'd be like, Yankee
28:00
Speaker 1: Baseball is not to you, but I BMW and then
28:03
Speaker 1: you know, you're like seventeen different car dealerships. He'd do
28:07
Speaker 1: a bunch of financial companies because of the Wall Street
28:09
Speaker 1: crowd and all that. It was just it was hilarious, right,
28:12
Speaker 1: but he was unapologetically himself. And you know why fit in?
28:16
Speaker 1: As the I learned this from doctor Seuss. Why fit in?
28:19
Speaker 1: We were born to stand out right? And Sterling didn't
28:21
Speaker 1: describe the moment he became the moment. Now, in closing
28:25
Speaker 1: on this tribute to John Sterling, the question now, is
28:29
Speaker 1: is it true that John Sterling was a friend of
28:32
Speaker 1: the show. So I would say, yes, John Sterling was
28:35
Speaker 1: not listen. We didn't have him on all the time
28:37
Speaker 1: and all that. John Sterling, I interviewed him a few
28:40
Speaker 1: times and when you chatted with him. The thing I
28:44
Speaker 1: will say about this Sterling, and I've been lucky enough
28:47
Speaker 1: to meet some of these people that are big time broadcasters,
28:49
Speaker 1: and a lot of them are total schmucks. They're just douchebags,
28:53
Speaker 1: complete a holes. You don't want to deal with these people,
28:57
Speaker 1: just bad people. John Sterling, My interaction with was very positive.
29:02
Speaker 1: I met him in Anaheim at an Angel Yankee game
29:05
Speaker 1: back in the glory days of the Yankees, when I
29:06
Speaker 1: was out of the games all the time, and I
29:08
Speaker 1: introduced myself and he seemed to genuinely care what I
29:12
Speaker 1: was doing. I'm sure he didn't give a rats ask
29:14
Speaker 1: what I was doing, but he seemed he seemed to
29:17
Speaker 1: care what I was doing. And he gave me his
29:20
Speaker 1: phone number, say if you never need anything, give me
29:22
Speaker 1: a call. I'd love to go on your show or whatever.
29:24
Speaker 1: So I said, okay. And did I use the call
29:27
Speaker 1: the number all the time? No, it was like a
29:29
Speaker 1: rare spice, you know, rare spice you don't use all
29:30
Speaker 1: the time. It's a rare spice. Only certain recipes require
29:34
Speaker 1: a rare spice. So I didn't call him all the time.
29:36
Speaker 1: And the fact that just gave me the number and
29:38
Speaker 1: he always answered or either called back, and that that's
29:42
Speaker 1: very And he had to leave a voicemail. He didn't
29:44
Speaker 1: do text, didn't do the text, so you had to
29:46
Speaker 1: do the voicemail and all that, and he'd call you
29:49
Speaker 1: right back and he'd a hello, this is John and
29:54
Speaker 1: all that. And we had him on Fox Sports Radio
29:56
Speaker 1: a couple times when I was doing some weekend shows.
29:58
Speaker 1: We had him on the fifth hour a couple of
29:59
Speaker 1: years back. And every time I reached out to him,
30:03
Speaker 1: he was like, I can do it. Here's the times
30:06
Speaker 1: I can do it. I'd love to do it. He
30:07
Speaker 1: never turned me down one time, and he certainly could
30:10
Speaker 1: have and he didn't. And I think part of it
30:13
Speaker 1: was he was kind of lonely unfortunately at the end
30:15
Speaker 1: there he was just kind of hanging out watching reruns
30:17
Speaker 1: of old movies and stuff at night. I don't know,
30:19
Speaker 1: but he was very nice to me, and I would
30:22
Speaker 1: give him on my report card, John Sterling. I wrote
30:25
Speaker 1: down mensch with a not a you know, not a
30:30
Speaker 1: capitol M mench, A mensch on the bench if you
30:32
Speaker 1: will here underline it twice if you want to. Just
30:36
Speaker 1: a good guy. And he once told me, and I
30:39
Speaker 1: mentioned that when I was driving around, I wasn't driving.
30:42
Speaker 1: Somebody else was driving. We were in New York in
30:43
Speaker 1: a cab and they had the beginning of the Yankee
30:45
Speaker 1: broadcast and they had like ten minutes of commercial. Was like,
30:46
Speaker 1: my god, was this ridiculous? Which sometimes sounds like our
30:50
Speaker 1: show during super Bowl week or whatever, but I was
30:52
Speaker 1: like whatever, And John gave me this whole lecture about
30:56
Speaker 1: how he's like, listen, the most important thing. He summed
30:59
Speaker 1: up this tremendous wisdom. He said, the most important thing
31:01
Speaker 1: is to sell the soap. You gotta sell the soap.
31:05
Speaker 1: And that's the line I took away from that conversation,
31:08
Speaker 1: the last one we had on the podcast a couple
31:10
Speaker 1: of years ago, and that's it. I mean nine words.
31:15
Speaker 1: The most important thing is to sell the soap. That's it.
31:18
Speaker 1: Nine words. That's all you got. And the Hall of
31:20
Speaker 1: Fame wisdom by John Sterling. And you can't do that
31:23
Speaker 1: with an algorithm. I don't care how great your AI is.
31:26
Speaker 1: You can't recreate John Sterling, and not a focus group.
31:32
Speaker 1: You can't. You just can't do it. It'll never happen again
31:35
Speaker 1: because until baseball, these sports leagues go back to the
31:39
Speaker 1: mom and pop days, which I don't see that ever
31:40
Speaker 1: happening in my lifetime. The corporations won't allow it. If
31:44
Speaker 1: you say anything on the edge, you get a phone call,
31:47
Speaker 1: you get a text message, Hey, ease up on these guys. Well,
31:51
Speaker 1: even when I did it, there was a game there
31:55
Speaker 1: was like seven errors in a game and I was
31:57
Speaker 1: ripping the defense and I pointed that out and then
32:01
Speaker 1: they they got upset with me. But anyway, Sterling, good
32:04
Speaker 1: for a life well lived for John Sterley. Too many
32:07
Speaker 1: broadcasters today sound like elevator music and they're afraid to
32:12
Speaker 1: wake up the baby, and there they're whispering like they're
32:16
Speaker 1: golf announcers. And John Sterling woke up the whole building
32:20
Speaker 1: and didn't care. And that was it. And there were
32:24
Speaker 1: some tremendous bloopers. You know, John's vision wasn't very good effect.
32:28
Speaker 1: The last time I saw him in person was a
32:29
Speaker 1: Yankee Dodger game at Yankee Stadium a couple of years
32:32
Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium, rather a couple of years back, and
32:33
Speaker 1: I kind of snuck in the back of the Yankee
32:36
Speaker 1: radio booth and John was calling the game off the television,
32:40
Speaker 1: which was fine, except sometimes the TV is a little
32:43
Speaker 1: delayed on that and of course, the most famous John
32:46
Speaker 1: Sterling Blooper was when I think it was Justin Turner
32:49
Speaker 1: was playing for the Red Sox and he fouled the
32:51
Speaker 1: ball back to the press box and it joinked off
32:54
Speaker 1: John Sterling's head while he was calling. He didn't even
32:58
Speaker 1: he was like because he wasn't paying attention. It was like,
33:00
Speaker 1: but rest in peace, John Sterling just a tremendous character
33:04
Speaker 1: in our lives, and it was great to I didn't
33:07
Speaker 1: obviously grow up in New York, didn't live in New York.
33:09
Speaker 1: I heard him on the internet and whatnot over the
33:12
Speaker 1: years and when I visited family there. So rest in peace,
33:15
Speaker 1: John Sterling.
